When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Gilfachreda

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Common questions in Gilfachreda

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA45 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gilfachreda. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
